Disease relevance of Cyclalia

Unusual hydroxycitronellal perfume dermatitis [1].

High impact information on Cyclalia

Deodorants containing hydroxycitronellal in the concentration range of 0.032-0.32% used twice daily on healthy skin in individuals hypersensitive to hydroxycitronellal can elicit axillary dermatitis in a few weeks [2].
A positive ROAT was noted only in the patients hypersensitive to hydroxycitronellal (P < 0.001) and only in the axilla to which the deodorants containing hydroxycitronellal had been applied (P < 0.001) [2].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cyclalia

Patch tests were positive to lemon oil, geraniol, and hydroxycitronellal [3].
